====== 3D HGT-assisted thermoset AFP (thermal) ======

  * 3D thermal simulation of the thermoset Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) using a Hot Gas Torch (HGT).
  * Use of PFEM3D and Metafor models.

=== HGT model in PFEM3D ===

  * Complex HGT geometry with 4 separate outlets.
  * Prediction of the steady-state surface temperature.

=== Thermal AFP model in Metafor ===

  * Steady-state temperature field from the HGT is given as input.
  * Thermal exchanges with environment, roller and backup plate.
  * Thermal contact resistance between layers.
  * Non-linear layup speed.
